As we begin the New Year and the season of Epiphany, lots is going on in Chaplaincy and plenty to be excited about. Epiphany reminds us of light, revelation, and new beginnings, and that feels especially fitting as we look ahead to the months to come.

We’re delighted to share some exciting news: the Chaplaincy team will be growing in the near future following a successful recruitment process. We’re grateful for this next step and the opportunities it brings to support our community even more fully.

This term, our shared focus will be on our value of peace, exploring what it means to be peacemakers in our everyday lives, relationships, and communities. As Jesus reminds us: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) As the light of Epiphany guides us into this New Year, we look forward to walking together in hope, peace, and renewed purpose.

On Tuesday 20th January we will be hosting our annual Careers Festival, with over 30 organisations attending from top universities, employers, local post-16 education providers and apprenticeship providers – including former All Saints’ students!

All year groups will attend at some point during the day and have the chance to ask questions and learn more about routes and careers they might be interested in. It’s a brilliant day and we hope it will spark conversations at home about future options – it’s never too early to start thinking about it, given it’s a big decision!

As a parent or carer, if you are looking to build your own knowledge on the options available for your child, take a look at the website Talking Futures . Career Pilot, which has great information for students about post-16 and 18 choices. Prospects is brilliant for understanding the breadth of sectors and jobs out there. If you would like to speak to Mrs Farrow about your child’s options, please contact her on nfarrow@asachelt.org. 

Former All Saints’ Academy Sixth Form student Olivia Fewings recently sent us the video below detailing her exciting job as an Entertainment Host on P&O Cruises. Make sure to watch the video to find out her route into the travel entertainment industry!
